Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy: A Revolutionary Approach to Skin Rejuvenation
What is Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)?
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a medical treatment that harnesses the healing potential of your own blood. PRP consists of plasma with a high concentration of platelets, which contain bioactive proteins essential for tissue repair and regeneration. The process begins with a small blood draw, followed by centrifugation to separate the red blood cells from the plasma and platelets. This concentration is rich in growth factors that stimulate collagen production and promote healing, making PRP an effective treatment for various cosmetic and medical applications.
How Does PRP Therapy Work?
Blood is drawn and centrifuged to extract platelet-rich plasma
Plasma is re-injected into the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin
Improves texture, firmness, and overall radiance
Non-surgical, minimally invasive, with minimal downtime
Consultation: During the initial assessment, the practitioner evaluates your skin condition, aging signs, or areas of hair loss, and recommends a personalized treatment plan. Pre-treatment photographs are typically taken for reference.
Who Can Benefit
Individuals with dull, aging, or dehydrated skin
Those seeking natural anti-aging treatments
Anyone wanting firmer, smoother, and revitalized skin
Preparation:
The skin is cleansed thoroughly.
A local anesthetic cream is applied for approximately 30 minutes to minimize discomfort during the procedure.
A small amount of blood is drawn and placed into a test tube, which is then centrifuged to separate the components of the blood.
PRP Preparation: The resulting platelet-rich plasma is prepared and activated for use.
Microneedling and Injection: PRP is applied topically onto the treatment area, followed by microneedling. This procedure creates micro-channels in the skin, enhancing the absorption of PRP. The remaining PRP can also be injected into targeted areas, such as wrinkles, fine lines, or hair follicles.
The “Vampire Facial”
PRP therapy is often referred to as the "Vampire Facial." This involves injecting the patient’s concentrated platelets and fibrin into the facial area to treat wrinkles and scars. The treatment typically lasts around 45 minutes, and a course of at least three sessions is recommended for optimal results, which can last up to 18 months. The application of your own blood components rejuvenates the skin, leading to a more youthful appearance.
PRP for Hair Loss
PRP therapy is also an effective treatment for hair loss. By injecting the patient’s plasma and growth factors into areas of thinning hair or damaged follicles, PRP stimulates hair growth and improves the health of existing hair. It is particularly beneficial for both men and women looking to regenerate hair in areas affected by hair loss.
PRP for Stretch Marks
Research indicates that PRP therapy can effectively heal and reduce the appearance of stretch marks. When combined with microneedling or targeted injections, it can address various skin imperfections and promote significant improvement in skin texture and tone.
Benefits of PRP Therapy
Quick Recovery: Patients typically experience minimal downtime and can return to normal activities shortly after treatment.
Natural Healing: Since PRP uses the patient’s own blood, it minimizes the risk of allergic reactions and infections.
Promotion of Healing: Clinical studies support the efficacy of PRP in stimulating healing processes in both skin and soft tissue.
Who Should Avoid PRP Treatment?
While PRP therapy is safe for many, certain individuals should avoid this treatment, including:
Heavy smokers or users of drugs and alcohol
Those with Platelet Dysfunction Syndrome or Critical Thrombocytopenia
Individuals with Hypofibrinogenemia or ongoing Hemodynamic Instability
Patients with active infections (acute or chronic)

Those undergoing Anticoagulation Therapy
